Say you've been talking online to a person (a few months or so) you have been attracted to online, maybe some phone calls, but you have never met.It SEEMS serious. No real plans for a physical meet.But you both stated feelings for one another.
Then, you go to the store, the local coffee shop, bowling alley, bar, etc., and meet someone you are instantly attracted to. You talk, they want to call, meet for dinner.
Do you go? Do you remain "true" to the person you have professed to care deeply for who may live across the country, that you have never met?

Seems like no question. Stay true to the person you have professed feelings for, or if you feel you have to go with the new one closer to you, at least have the decency to tell your online companion that you aren't willing to stick it out and have decided to go in another direction.

Be honest and upfront with both, Tell the online person at least that you've met someone locally you'd like to learn more about and hope they don't get to pissed if you've already been so serious with them.

But remember.. the chances of meeting this person is next to none! A friend of mine is going through this and it got me curious as to what others thought about the subject

I do not make commitments til I've met the person in real life to see if there is chemistry. I've been hurt before when something has stopped the meeting or the chemistry just wasn't there. Once I've met them and we both feel something for one another then we would need to figure out how we are gonna make it work.

I think you can be romanced online or over the phone ,but real attraction only happens when you can look someone in the eyes. I've never gotten "butterflies in my tummy" from an email or a phone coversation. JMO

It's that "one in a million" chance we all seem to be looking at....Who knows what's right for me or you?...We take our chances everyday. But, Honesty is a must.

i have had 2 instances where i had great online relationship and when i met these girls felt no attrasction chemically,i was very let down,mainly i think i was only thinking of these ladies as potential mates,i don't know,but now i have met someone who i feel a great attraction to and we talk mutually about our real lives,dates we go on,things in our lives.i think it is important to remain open and honest with eachother about this,and like C.B.says i'll hold out final judgement till we meet.

When I find someone "online" I'd like to meet, I don't wish to wait to long...Because then I think the chances of being "truly taken" are lessened..They have become in my mind something which I created...jmo

Lie perfectly still and wait until it goes away, Oh wait, that's what you do if attacked by a bear, LOL.
Seriously I would not make a decision until I meet the online person in real life. If there is chemistry with them, then you have a hard decision to make.
You know more about the online person at this point, so now you need to know the chance encounter just as well. Then go with your gut. JMO

Personally it depends on what you professed to the other person. Despite not
meeting...if you stated that you were not looking elsewhere and made a
comittment,thats one thing, or if you simply shared a strong interest with no
comittment thats another. That said..if you lost feelings of attraction for
your online person, then you must be honest and end it. jmo
